Now not to knock the fact that this does look like a clean van (but who knows what before the repaint, one would need to look close) but last week we were ragging on the guy in the DC metro area on a presumably 86k original mile unit asking about $600 more that might have even been made to run, and this one needing an engine is a deal at $2600?
 
Like I said then, perhaps there is a grounswell in aircooled Vanagon Westy value I don't appreciate, but a nonrunner is a $1000 van to me, even with my arcane 90's sense of value, $1500 perhaps.  Just as value has climbed, parts $$ to build a solid T4 even if you don't go gold plated, have just kept climbing in the last 10 years, and one would be more have well over $5k into this thing if you aren't going to do it yourself.  Let him "rering it" and buyer then beware...
 
YMMV.
